Friday night Trials Superstore will be sponsoring and COTA (Oregon) is organizing the ever popular Gate section starting at 6:00pm. The winners of each class  Novice - Expert  will receive a $25 gift card from TRIALS SUPERSTORE and a raffle ticket for a chance to win a new rear tire from our friend Mike at Trials Superstore. It is free to enter, but you must pre-register for at least one of the Sat/Sun trials.

UPDATE: Please tally your score card at your vehicle once you have completed your ride. Make sure you bring a pen and a paper towel to dry and then fill out your score card. The marshal's table has become very crowded with people scoring their cards so we are trying to reduce the congestion. The Trials Marshal will re-tally all cards to confirm the correct score is awarded. 

LOGISTICS:ALL RIDERS, please pick up your punch card at the scoring tent anytime Friday or Saturday until 8:30am. LEGIBLY  print your Name and Class. We request you bring your own 1/8 " punch. It will be group check, but each rider will punch their own cards. You cannot ride alone.

Once you have completed your ride, tally the score at your vehicle, return completed score card to the scoring tent and drop completed cards in the tub provided along with any punches you borrowed from PST. They will be sanitized. We will re-tally your cards.

Governor Inslee has published guidelines that will allow us to resume putting on events. Part of these guidelines specifically state that "registration must be done ahead of time and with minimal face to face contact". This process is as new to us as it is to you, so please bear with us.

We are so excited to be back riding. However we need to let you know that things will be a little different when getting together. For starters, we are asking for everyone to pre-screen yourselves before coming to the event. This includes...

-take your temperature - make sure you don’t have a cough - don’t have shortness of breath or difficulty breathing - if you’ve had COVID-19 that you haven’t displayed symptoms for the last 10 days.

Here are some guidelines to help determine if you should attend this event. If you have any of these symptoms or don’t feel well we are asking that you respect others and not attend.
